and hillary clinton would be there for her. you know, that could be a real boost for her name recognition for battles later on even if she failed to unseat the senate's top republican. >> that's true. it would be a pretty big booster there. how about the mcconnell camp? how are they reacting? >> mcconnell camp pretty confident so far. my understanding is they'd prefer to have judd run. they think they can link judd to president obama. president obama lost in kentucky by 23 points and ashley judd has been a pretty big obama advocate. they think they can run ads that say judd equals obama and win that state. mcconnell people are worried particularly if grimes runs. his approval rating is only about 37% which means there's a lot of room, 60% of voters or so are open to someone different running there. so if grimes or judd ran a really good campaign, they could beat mcconnell. one thing to note is the week after the presidential election, mcconnell was holding fund-raisers already. he's been very wary of a challenger. he's trying t

forre reagan had run president in 1980 on tom dewey's platform, if bill clinton had run for president on adlai stevenson's platform, these would not have worked so well. >> ronald reagan faced these challenges because he had to deal with a badly broken budget process that was a product of the 1974 act. wasof my responsibilities to draft the decision for reagan called the budget process reform act that would deal with these things. i introduced it. we had over 200 sponsors. we had a bipartisan sponsorship in the senate. as you can see from problems we are experiencing, the process has never changed. if you want to find something that is capable of being completely bipartisan, multi- partisan, omni-partisan, it is fixing the budget process in a neutral way, because once you subtract everybody's passionate ideology, it is easier to come to agreement about putting a whole thing in a box and making sure there are priorities. hasng sure the system teeth, because the big problem is you can blow off the process and people do. >> we started a few minutes late, so we have time for audience ques
